1、Designation: D 714 02 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forEvaluating Degree of Blistering of Paints1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 714; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last re
2、vision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method employs photographic refere
3、nce stan-dards to evaluate the degree of blistering that may developwhen paint systems are subjected to conditions which willcause blistering. While primarily intended for use on metal andother nonporous surfaces, this test method may be used toevaluate blisters on porous surfaces, such as wood, if
4、the sizeof blisters falls within the scope of these reference standards.When the reference standards are used as a specification ofperformance, the permissible degree of blistering of the paintsystem shall be agreed upon by the purchaser and the seller.1.2 This standard does not purport to address a
5、ll of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、or Blistering of Paint Coatings23. Significance and Use3.1 A phenomenon peculiar to painted surfaces is theformation of blisters relative to some system weakness. Thistest method provides a standard procedure of describing thesize and density of the blisters so that comparisons of severitycan be mad
7、e.4. Reference Standards4.1 The photographic reference standards are glossy prints.2Figs. 1-4 are reproductions of these standards and are includedto illustrate two characteristics of blistering: size and fre-quency.4.2 SizeReference standards have been selected for foursteps as to size on a numeric
8、al scale from 10 to 0, in which No.10 represents no blistering. Blistering standard No. 8 representsthe smallest size blister easily seen by the unaided eye.Blistering standards Nos. 6, 4, and 2 represent progressivelylarger sizes.4.3 FrequencyReference standards have been selected forfour steps in
9、frequency at each step in size, designated asfollows:Dense, D,Medium dense, MD,Medium, M, andFew, F.NOTE 1A quantitative physical description of blistering would in-clude the following characteristics determined by actual count:Size distribution in terms of mensuration units,Frequency of occurrence
10、per unit area,Pattern of distribution over the surface, andShape of blisterFor the usual tests, an actual count is more elaborate than is necessary.5. Procedure5.1 Subject the paint film to the test conditions agreed uponby the purchaser and the seller. Then evaluate the paint film forthe degree of
11、blistering by comparison with the photographicreference standards in Figs. 1-4.6. Report6.1 Report blistering as a number (Note 2) designating thesize of the blisters and a qualitative term or symbol indicatingthe frequency.6.2 Intermediate steps in size or frequency of blisters maybe judged by inte
12、rpolation.6.3 When the distribution of blisters over the area has anonuniform pattern, use an additional phrase to describe thedistribution, such as “small clusters,” or “large patches.”NOTE 2The number refers to the largest size blister that is numerousenough to be representative of the specimen. F
